How to Crochet Bo the Chinese Dragon – Free Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Crochet hooks in various sizes, depending on the yarn you’re using.
- Yarn in the colors of your choice (green for the body, and other colors for details like eyes, spikes, etc.).
- Fiberfill stuffing.
- Yarn needle for sewing and weaving in ends.
- Safety eyes or embroidery thread for the eyes.
Crochet Steps:
- Body: Begin with a magic ring and crochet in continuous rounds to create the dragon’s body. Gradually increase and shape the body to your desired length and size.
- Head: Crochet a smaller circle for the dragon’s head and then attach it to the body.
- Eyes: Attach safety eyes or embroider eyes using black yarn onto the dragon’s head.
- Spikes: Crochet triangular spikes in a contrasting color and sew them onto the dragon’s back.
- Legs and Arms: Crochet four legs and attach them to the body. You can also create arms with small claws.
- Tail: Create a long tail and attach it to the back of the body, adding spikes along the tail.
- Wings: Crochet wings in the desired shape and attach them to the dragon’s sides.
- Details: Use additional colors to embroider or crochet any other details you’d like, such as facial features, scales, or additional decorations.
- Assembly: As you crochet the different parts, you’ll need to sew them together using a yarn needle and the same yarn you used to crochet the pieces. Stuff the dragon with fiberfill as you go to give it shape and volume.
- Finishing Touches: Once all the parts are attached and the dragon is stuffed, weave in any remaining yarn ends and make sure everything is securely sewn together.
